Notes: A pig must be kept cold and iced down prior to cooking, a bathtub is a great place to store pig and to keep iced down. It is also really funny to witness, to those unaware of the pigs presence, in the bathtub. Uncle Paul's signature trademark of him messing with the pig, is a cigar in the pig's mouth.
